I hope it helps inform more people.I've gathered many different names over the years.
Feel free to add anyother GM color names you know of by more then one name.
I watched a fight break out between a few members on another website over Hugger Orange not being the same as Carousel Red...and unofficially now "Funk Orange" too.
So many colors renamed by other manufacturers,makes one believe there were more shades then there really were.
Donnie,I only wanted to list colors that had multiple names,as that is the whole purpose of this topic.
I have the 1968 GM colors too I can post,if anyones interested..

"...I have the 1968 GM colors too I can post, if anyones interested..."

Yes please...I was just wondering if the 'Frost Green' of the '69 L78 Nova recently posted is the same as 'Grecian Green' like Annie's '68 Gibb Nova?.

Did Chevrolet ever use Pontiac Verdoro Green under that name or another?
